Mongolian script multigraphs

This article describes two- and three-letter combinations (so-called digraphs and trigraphs) used for the Mongolian language when written in the Mongolian script.

Vowel and consonant combinations
The intervocalic letters '/', and  has in some combinations come to help form long vowels, namely: ''
 * Long ' with: ', ', '.
 * Long ' with: ', ', '.
 * Long ' with: '.
 * Long ' with: ', ', '.
 * Long ' with: ', ', '.
 * Long ' with: ', .
 * Long ' with: ', ', '.

Sometimes intervocalic ' and ' is silent: as in ' (дээл ) 'robe, garment' or  ' (хүн ) 'human, person; man'.

Vowel combinations

 * The doubled vowels ', ', and ' mark these out as long. Doubled ' is instead both used in a few words to mark the vowel as short, and to distinguish it from .


 * Most of the s of these diphthongs derive from an earlier ', but is no longer recognized as such. The ' origin can for instance be seen in the two long teeth'' of $⟨?⟩$ ' 'good'. These has become a pair of short and long teeth in recent manuscripts. The diphthongs only appears with the single form of ', as in  ' 'sea', at the end of words.
